Here's an excerpt form Kiper's chat yesterday. I find this very interesting and not too many people are talking about it.
"I have right now 45 players with first round ability, 41 as second rounders and 34 as third rounder. That's 120 players in the first three rounds. That takes you almost through the first four rounds. These are all quality players. I'm talking about in the early second day bringing in quality players. There are 120 players that are legitimate first three round players. That means I have 23 guys that will go in the fourth round that should have gone in the third round. "
Obviously, each team's boards will be drastically different, but I expect the Pats' board to look pretty good for the first 3 or 4 rounds and expect theu will end up with 5-6 really good prospects on day 1 and early day 2.
